[AlfaShrimper]

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

I remember it was this post I refreshed 1000x a day . Ah pre embargo days lol.

 

[Petejames]

[Smiffy]

Perhaps @ShrimperStats can produce some errrm "stats" for us on the rumoured targets above?

Welcome back Transfer Rumours Thread, its been a while.


There was talk about a return for Macus Dackers (he is currently at Altringham until 2nd Jan).. Would we go back for him?

I would it’s not about what he’s done it’s about what he can do and what’s possible to do with him once around the three amigos

Imagine the chaos if Dackers & Kombongolo went up for corners!

I never remembered Dacker winning a header tbh

What about the goal he scored with his head?

It certainly is an area we need to improve on. Our threat from set pieces, be it corners or free kicks has been lacking for a while. Once the embargo goes I would expect movement to address this.

I don't remember

To be honest I hope we can do better than Dackers.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

I don't remember

I'm genuinely being serious btw Did Dackers score a header? if so it's completely gone from my mind

I remember his pen against Wealdstone and the Volley he scored at Roots Hall.

I remember him ducking every time he jumped for a header, he never used his height to his advantage

Same was said of Acquah and he’s now playing at a higher level than us doing well. Dackers mobility was more key IMO than his aerial ability. Cards has this too.

Agree, he never really left the ground when he jumped. Held it up well at his feet, but took nothing in the air.

Same with Cards really, he jumps a lot but doesn’t really get near the ball or do much effectively with it in the air.

Both big men who play much better with it being pinged to their feet.

Morton might need bumping up to an orange...
